Eat
We're all about bringing you the freshest food and giving you biggest menu choice! We own and operate nine food and beverage outlets, that serve everything from sushi to tacos to our famous chicken po'boys. The menus might be different but the mission is the same, with each food outlet funneling a portion of contributions straight back into AMS Student Services. The Nest is also home to three non-AMS food outlets to make sure there's a place for every tastebud!
BLUE CHIP CAFE
Blue Chip Cafe brings together the very best of Blue Chip cookies and Bernoulli’s Bagels! You’ll also find a wide selection of baked goods, sandwiches, vegan, and gluten-free treats. We serve Spirit Bear coffee, specialty barista drinks and cold drinks. And we’ll serve this all with an extra-big smile if you bring your own mug, because the environment matters!*
